TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE | JUST IN CASE

10.1 - SD CARDS

• SD cards will sometimes cause errors when they are: old, corrupted, full of images, previously used by other cameras, too large, or specialized high-speed cards.

• Make sure that you are using a new 4GB to 32GB class 10 SD card. DO NOT use

SDXC cards, Micro/Mini cards, Ultra Capacity, or High-Speed cards.

• If the SD card is compatible, formatting the SD card will usually correct and prevent any SD card errors. See Formatting Sidebar

10.3 - SERVER CONNECTION

• If camera does not connect to Moultrie Mobile, try:

- Formatting or replacing SD card See Formatting Sidebar

- Moving camera to area with better cellular coverage

- Verifying battery level

- Checking antenna for damage or proper attachment

10.2 - REDUCING FALSE TRIGGERS

• Camera is triggered by the movement of heat within the detection zone.

• Optimize trigger sensitivity for the camera’s specific location with High, Medium, and Low sensitivity settings. Adjust camera settings via app or website.

• Avoid pointing the camera into the sun (east / west) – the warm sunlight can create false triggers.

• Avoid placing the camera in an open field during the summer. Heat-related triggers in open fields disappear when the temperature drops.

• Don’t place camera on smaller trees that can easily blow in the wind.

• Place the camera 4+ feet off the ground and clear away nearby branches, brush, and tall grass – vegetation warmed by the sun and blown by the wind can sometimes produce a false trigger.

FORMATTING SD CARD• Power camera on and press and hold the Format SD button until the SD Card LED blinks yellow.

• Once formatted, the SD Card LED will turn solid green indicating success.

• If the SD Card LED turns solid red, repeat the process or try a different card.

IF FORMATTING OR REPLACING THE SD CARD DOES NOT HELP, VISIT THE SUPPORT

SECTION OF THE MOULTRIE MOBILE APP OR MOULTRIEMOBILE.COM

10.4 - NO/WEAK CELL SIGNAL

• Why does my cell phone have signal, but my camera doesn’t? - Cellular providers often have “roaming agreements” with towers they do not own and usually do not allow devices like cellular trail cameras to benefit from these agreements.

- Your phone may be utilizing 3G signal (even if it is a 4G phone). The camera is not able to operate on 3G.

• If your cellular signal is weak

(Signal LED is yellow or red), please relocate the camera to a place with stronger signal.

10.5 - NO NEW IMAGE NOTIFICATIONS

• Check for an updated version of the app in the App Store or Google Play Store.

• Sign out and back in to the app: My Account > Sign Out

• Clear app cache for Android users: Go to Settings > Storage > Other Apps

then scroll to the Moultrie Mobile App and clear cache and clear storage.

• Check that you have opted into Push Notifications IN THE APP: My Account > Notification Settings.

• Make sure that Push Notifications are enabled ON YOUR PHONE:

- iPhone: Go to Settings > Notifications > Moultrie Mobile > Allow Notifications and select alert options. - Android: Go to Settings > Notifications and turn on notifications for Moultrie Mobile.

• Force close the app.

• Uninstall and reinstall the app.
